Traveling from San Francisco…on Christmas Eve…. We didn’t even expect to find a restaurant open let alone serving with joy and enthusiasm! Not sure which shined harder…the food or the service! Both were extraordinarily exceptional! We got the tasting menu for a price we would never had expected in an SF restaurant! It was a steal! But our wonderful server informed us we didn’t pick from each course…we got ALL the plates in each course. We were like: uhm…I know we are two decent sized guys but we are not a small army. She said the plates were small! And that is the only complaint I have. She said the plates were small! She lied! Virtually every plate was an entire meal! Sooooo much food. And all of it so good, we couldn’t stop eating! It was crazy! And it was all for a fraction of the cost of a comparable meal in San Francisco! One of the top 3 restaurants of my life!

In terms of value a mediocre experience. Atmosphere is great. Cool room and seating with nice background music. Service is good. However, we came to have a good meal and that’s where the restaurant falls short. cocktails and food was really just mediocre which is always a little disappointing when you are on vacation and when you’re looking forward to a good dinner! I would not go back there again and I would not recommend this restaurant.

The food and service were exquisite—probably the best dinner I have ever had. Each bite was a gem-like explosion of unparalleled taste. Jose, our server, was outstanding in his attention to detail, recommendations, and service. Shame on any Miami resident who hasn’t yet visited this singular restaurant. Washington, DC, where my friend and are from, has many wonderful restaurants, but not one like this.

I was disappointed that it feels like you are eating in the lobby of the hotel. There was no vibe and there was clearly an event going on in the back of the hotel with a constant stream of people parading through. The server did his best. The food was good not great. We did enjoy the caviar service.
